Description

Vancouver International Airport, Canada's second busiest airport, sits on Sea Island in the Fraser River Delta where the marshes, mudflats and agriculture habitats on and around the delta attract millions of shorebirds, and thousands of waterfowl and gulls each year. To manage the wildlife strike risk associated with these hazards, the airport has in place one of the most comprehensive wildlife management programs in the world. Joining Kylie in this episode to talk about this program is David Bradbeer, YVR's Wildlife Program Specialist, and from Avisure Services, Tyler Rogers, who is the Site Manager for YVR's wildlife management program.
